What Do Experts Say Is The Right Garcinia Cambogia Dosage?

Garcinia Cambogia will only promote weight loss when it is taken in the right proportions and at the right time. Before we delve deeper into some specific details about Garcinia Cambogia dosage, let’s first take a look at what doctors are saying about this all-natural fat buster.

Expert advice on Garcinia Dosage

When a famous Dr presented Garcinia on his show on live TV, he used words like “revolutionary weight loss system” and “miracle cure”. It seemed a bit over the top, but a couple of months down the line word about its amazing benefits is spreading like wild-fire. The simple explanation being—it works!He was however very categorical on the type of Garcinia he endorsed. Here is the checklist he later posted on his website for those looking for Garcinia Cambogia purchase tips to use.

* At least 50% HCA content.* Manufactured in a cGMP and FDA approved facility.* Featuring a bold name “Garcinia Cambogia” on its package.* Made in America, kindly avoid brands made in China or other countries that don’t have clear Garcinia manufacturing guidelines.

Experts also warn against buying Garcinia that is abnormally priced. Cases of fake Garcinia that features ingredients such as sugars, wheat and artificial binders have in the recent past been on the rise. Such Garcinia is less efficient and may not be effective even if you are following the right dosage.

Factors Affecting Garcinia Cambogia Dosage

* HCA Content

Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) is the main active ingredient in this supplement. As such products with high HCA contents are known to be more efficient than those which fall short of the 50% content requirement. Most suggested dosages for Garcinia are based on an extract that contains between 50 to 60% HCA.

* How Much Weight One Wants To Lose

People with huge masses of fat may require larger quantities of Garcinia than people with few fats. In other words, you need more HCA to fast-track your weight loss success. There’s however no specific formula for determining exactly what you should consume at a particular weight level.

* Type Of Food Eaten

If you eat high calorie (high fat foods) you are highly likely to gain fats than a person who eats low fat foods. If fries and snacks are your thing, you probably need a slightly higher dose of HCA to begin losing weight.

* What State?

Garcinia is available in two states: high-grade premium state and compound supplement state. High-grade premium Garcinia is highly effective which obviously means that you don’t need much of it to lose weight. Compound supplement Garcinia is made up of multiple ingredients and has low levels of HCA. It goes without saying that those who use it need larger doses to meet the recommended dosage.

* Garcinia In Bottle Or Capsule

There are different guidelines for using bottled and capsule Garcinia. We’re getting into those guidelines – up next.

Recommended Garcinia Cambogia Dosage And How To Take Garcinia Cambogia

A typical Garcinia doses is 500 to 1,000 mgtaken three times a day with plenty of water just before meals. The recommended daily allowance for this supplement is 2,500 to 3,000 mg. If your supplement is in capsule form you need to take two capsules per day before main meals.

The best time to take your supplement is at least 1 hour before meals. This is to allow enough time for HCA to start working. Your level of appetite may reduce during this period of time forcing you to eat less than you (probably) had planned for initially.

If you are not sure about exactly what quantity of Garcinia to take, you may want to call your local supplier for further guidance. Besides doing that, you can inform your doc of your decision to use this supplement. The good news is that consequences of an over/under dose are often mild and tolerable: dizziness, nausea, mild rash and headaches. This however does not give you the lee-way to throw caution to the wind when using Garcinia products.

Not everyone qualifies to use Garcinia. If you are pregnant, below the age of 18 or diabetic, you are supposed to talk to a health expert before trying this or any other supplement (be it herbal or conventional).

I did buy this specific brand, “Miracle G C” and am a little confused on the dosing. The bottle says take two capsules per day. That appears to be one serving, which would be 2000mg (each capsule is 1000mg). Should BOTH capsules be taken together before one meal during the day, or should ONE capsule be taken TWICE daily, an hour prior to each meal?

Hey Greg, first off thanks for stopping by my website. Now to answer your question, For miracle garcinia cambogia, the serving size is two capsules = 1000mg. That means each capsule is 500mg and not 1000mg. Therefore you’ll take two capsules before meals either twice per day for a maximum dosage of 2000mg or three times per day for the maximum recommended daily dosage of 3000mg.

my bottle says take 1 capsule 2 times a day 30 minutes before meals. Serving size is 2 capsules @ 1,000 total (I believe)..I’m thinking I should take 2 capsules 3 times a day….am I correct. I’ve only been taking 1 capsule (One before breakfast and one before dinner)…nothing is happening…….Help!

Hey Beth, based on what I just read from your comment, a single capsule is 500mg since the serving size is 2 to give 1000mg. As a result you may be taking a low dosage since your daily intake is only 1000mg. You can increase your dosage to 2000mg by adding two more capsules per day.

Hi I have a silly question I bought my Garcinia Camboiga here in Costa Rica and the brand is ALFA and each pill contains 500 mg and I take 2 pills a day, one before the first meal and before the second meal. I do not know if I’ve understood correctly, but that is about 1000 mg per day, right, so should I take 4 pills a day for a total of 2000mg?

Hey Kaley, garcinia does help to produce lean muscle mass but if you are looking to tone your body, don’t expect any supplement to do that for you. You’ll have to go into the gym and workout different muscle groups to get your desired look.

I am still not sure about the dosage… The serving size is 2 capsules, it’s 1000 mg. You recommend to take between 2,500 and 3000 mg. Does it mean that 2 capsules should be taken 2 times a day? Or, should I take one capsule twice a day?
